A MIXED day of wet and dry weather running has continued the unpredictable theme of the 2025 Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia series today at Queensland Raceway.
The pair of 30-minute practice sessions commenced with practice one in the dry before light rain fell at the end of the opening hit out.
The second session was then run entirely in the rain giving teams a mixture of conditions to practice in advance of a weekend likely to feature more unpredictable weather.
In the dry / damp opening session Lockie Bloxsom continued his good form by topping the charts over Round 1 winner Willie Exton and Kiwi Tom Bewley.
Bloxsom has been Mr. Consistency this season and leads the championship after a strong string of races across the opening rounds at Phillip Island and Sydney Motorsport Park, respectively.
In the afternoon’s wet running it was an entirely different top three with Sydney winner James Lodge quickest with Sonic’s Jake Santalucia second and Jackson Rooney – another quick Kiwi – in third.
The wet session featured several stoppages for vehicle recoveries which stopped several contenders from setting their best laps in an interrupted session.
Still, just one second covered the top 10 cars in what is expected to be another incredibly tight round; Queensland Raceway famous for producing highly competitive racing.
Ramu Farrell topped the Pro-Am class in both sessions over Andrew Georgiadis and Lachlan Harburg, who swapped second and third between them in the respective sessions, while Daniel Quimby continued his domination of Class B by sweeping the session.
With practice complete, the 24-strong field turns its attention to qualifying tomorrow morning and the first of three races set for this weekend’s Shannons SpeedSeries GT Festival event at Queensland Raceway.
Both sessions will be shown live on 7plus on Saturday.
